~Sunday~ I was determined to not being doing work work at midnight on Sunday for the second or third weekend in a row, so I took care of that first thing today. After that I went to the gym, where I did 300 (15 sets of 20) ab crunches, followed by a 40-minute upper body … Read more
~Saturday~ At a little after 12:30, I met Jen at the Hillsborough Building where we work on NC State’s campus. We left her car there, and I drove us to The Diner in Glenwood South, to which Jen had never been, and where we had lunch and bookend cocktails. Hey, it was after noon. Jen … Read more
~Wednesday~ I took a sick day from work today, and started off my morning with a piece of delicious homemade banana bread, which Sarah so graciously gave to me at Salon on Monday. Here’s a picture of, and comment about, it that I put on Facebook: Redundant or Complementary? Sarah asked on Facebook if that … Read more
~Thursday~ I was able to quickly pack up my breakfast and lunch today, as I’d done a little “prep” work last night, namely peeling, removing the yolk from, and slicing my hard-boiled egg, separating out a weighed portion of ham, and setting the coffee pot to start brewing at 8:00. I’m not really avoiding the … Read more
~Wednesday~ If you remember, it snowed here on Saturday. It’s Wednesday now, and it’s obvious by the snow still on the ground four days later, that I get limited direct sunlight in the front yard of my townhouse. This morning it was in the 19°-20° range, and when I got in my car to drive … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at around 9:00, and off to Durham at 11:30 for our December Manbites Dog Theater Board of Directors meeting from 12:00 – 1:30. We had a productive meeting, and things are looking a little better financially for the theater, so that’s a nice boost of spirits. I was going to meet … Read more
~Wednesday~ I woke up feeling much better this morning, but definitely not 100%. I guess that expired soup was okay, as I saw no ill effects (literally) from it. By the time I finished packing my laptop back it was part technology toter, part lunch bag, and part medicine chest. Something has happened to the … Read more
~Saturday~ Another glorious day of eight hours of sleep. Today I’m thankful for holiday weekends. I met Robert at the Regal Brier Creek Stadium 14 theater, for the 4:30 showing of: As expected, it was pretty much an audience of women and gay men, with the occasional husband who goes to chick flicks to appease … Read more
~Wednesday~ I rolled out of bed at 8:30 and after putting on a pot of coffee, logged into work. I was an obedient employee, and logged off between 2:30 and 3:00. At around 3:00, I headed over to Great Clips for a $7.99 haircut, where LaToya cut my hair again, and finally didn’t say, “Have … Read more
~Tuesday~ I’ve been running behind in the mornings lately, so today I set my alarm ten minutes earlier than I have been. I was out at the bus stop at 8:17, and the bus arrived at 8:23. It was a beautiful morning weather-wise, and the sun caught the trees near my house and stop at … Read more
